What a wonderful film!
Went over Easter weekend, under (quiet) sufferance. Read (very soon reluctantly, because they were awful) the books to our kids years ago.
The adaptation by the brilliant Simon Farnaby (Paddington films) is funny, captivating, and beautifully filmed.
I’ve recommended it to several child-free friends because it’s one of those rare films that appeals to all ages. Really, watch it. You’ll be glad that you did
(No, I have no personal/professional interest in the film 😁)

Bluebelle woke at 4am and lots of spam on old threads. They all seem to have been removed now!

Loved the film. Didn't know the book, as I preferred the Valley of Adventure series.
Only noticed the 'issues' when I started reading Noddy to my own children.
Attitudes change, usually for the better.
